Hansa Rostock has caught up with league leader SV Werder Bremen in the North-West division of the Virtual Bundesliga Club Championship in FIFA 22.

The Hanseatic team managed a brilliant catch-up on the penultimate double matchday: Henning "Henning" Wilmbusse and Levy Finn "Levyfinn" Rieck won all matches. With the two "nine bombs" Rostock puts the Bremen under pressure.

The leader of the standings patched up in both North Derbies. Michael "MegaBit" Bittner and Ali "PredatorFIFA" Oskoui Rad scored four points against Hamburger SV, and only one point against St. Paul.

In the singles match against Paulis Kamal "Kamal" Kamboj MegaBit was the pressure to watch. The Bremer gave up his lead in the last ten minutes of the game out of hand. After Kamal's winning goal in stoppage time, MegaBit slid off his chair with his hands in front of his face and knelt in front of the screen.

FIFA 22 VBL: Tension before the last double matchday

The race for the top of the table is surprisingly close again. Rostock jumped to second place and is only one point behind Bremen before the last double matchday.

The race for the six playoff spots is also still open. 1. FC Köln scored nine points in the Rhein Derby against Leverkusen and moved from seventh place into the important top six.

FC Schalke 04, VfL Bochum 1848 and Borussia Mönchengladbach remain within striking distance behind them, but have to hope for mistakes of the competitors in the last week of the game.
